BenQ PG series monitors feature an average Delta E of 2 or lower to ensure color accuracy throughout project workflow, a 14 Bit 3D LUT and 10-Bit IPS panel

Individually Tested to Verify PerformanceEach BenQ PG series display is subjected to a verification process on-site upon production in order to test the performance of the monitor in terms of Brightness uniformity, Delta-E and Gamma curve. These results are validated against BenQ and industry colour standards—the results of the test are noted on a calibration report, included with each individual PG series monitor.

Expand the Spectrum on a 10-bit IPS PanelEnjoy the smoothest shading and colour transitions in natural gradations on a 10-bit display panel. A 10-bit panel can create more than one billion colours – 64 times the amount of colour available on an 8-bit panel – to guarantee silky smooth gradation. The PG series also includes 14-bit processing capability, generating crisper definition and improved gray-level distinction, allowing you see true-to-print natural shades before they get printed.

Pixel-Perfect Color AuthenticityBenQ PG series monitors feature an average Delta E of 2 or lower to ensure colour accuracy throughout project workflow. An average Delta E≤2 not only offers viewers the truest impression of the original image, it also saves time and money by creating reliable colors the first time, every time.

Hardware CalibrationUtilising the X-Rite calibration device (i1 pro, i1 pro 2 or i1 Display Pro), you can use hardware calibration function to adjust the 3D LUT in the monitor directly, providing smoother and more consistent colour tones. Subsequently, these calibrated settings are stored directly in the monitor under two of the preset modes.

Brightness Uniformity FunctionThe Brightness Uniformity Function enables PG series monitors to maintain a consistent image across the entire display. By balancing brightness and chromaticity the Brightness Uniformity Function offers a more consistent viewing experience.Master Color Profiles with X-rite and BenQ Co-Developed SoftwarePG series is bundled with Palette Master Software, co-developed with X-rite, the global leader in colour science. This software allows users to efficiently validate calibration results according to G7, FOGRA and UGRA printing standards. An intuitive UI Design and range of adjustment parameters make calibrating suitable colour profiles quick and easy.

Ergonomic Design The monitor comes with a sleek stand which can be adjusted to suit any ergonomic desktop position. The stand is fully adjustable and can rotate landscape or portrait and tilt, pivot or swivel.

Fine-Tuned PresetsFactory calibrated preset viewing modes ensure users have a suitable variety of viewing conditions upon first using the monitor. The PG series offers Standard, Adobe RGB, sRGB, illumine. A, D50 and D65 for standard graphical work. For more involved work, the Calibration Mode enables users to save calibration settings and switch between different sets of calibration settings. Additionally the heavily customizable Custom Mode can be used for delicate colour tuning.

Full Range of ConnectivityA variety of inputs provides users with flexibility in connecting various input devices. PC users can connect the PG series monitor to a PC via DVI-D, HDMI or DisplayPort while MAC users can connect via the Mini DisplayPort input. A USB 3.0 port and card reader is also available for rapid file transfers and storage solutions.

Shading HoodAmbient lighting and glare can often obstruct the user’s perception of colour reproduction. With this in mind, the PG series includes a detachable shading hood made specifically for glare reduction and use in areas where controlling ambient light is not feasible.

Less-trouble Soft Proofing Makes Monitor to Printing More EfficientBenQ PG series monitors are tested against standard printing colour charts and real printing house results to determine which aspects of colorations prove to be the most challenging for graphic professionals. As defined by these test results, the BenQ PG series specialises in colour reproduction for tones with an average Delta-E value lower than two.
